VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for G. Q. Parachutes, emphasizing "Speed with Safety. " The ad features an illustration of a pilot in full gear seated next to the text, which highlights the latest type of Aircrew Parachute known as Mark 3 (White Company) and Mark 3A (Yellow Company). These parachutes are referenced by both the Royal Air Force and Navy. It also mentions that these parachutes are designed to work with new ejection seats in various high-speed aircraft such as the Attacker, Meteor, Wyvern, and Sea Hawk. Additionally, there's a note about the G. Q. Design Type "ZD" Aircrew Safety Harness that can be attached to the Ejection Seat. The bottom portion of the ad showcases the bold letters "G. Q. PARACHUTES" along with their tagline "Leaders in Development of Parachute Design, " indicating their prominence in safety equipment innovation at that time. Finally, it includes contact information for The G. Q. Parachute Co. Ltd. , located in Woking, Surrey, England and presents an image of a Back Type Parachute Mk. IIIA fitted to Martin Baker Ejection Seat Mk. I A. Overall this advertisement reflects post-war advancements in aviation safety technology during an era where jet speeds were increasing rapidly necessitating improved life-saving measures for pilots.
